Man Utd's Ferdinand wants no regrets from World Cup number four

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand says he does not want to come away from his fourth World Cup with any regrets.

The England captain admits there has been an incident in each of the 1998, 2002 and 2006 World Cups which has left him with heartache and he is adamant he wants to feel that pain no more.

"I don't want to come back with any regrets this time," he said.

"That's happened to me too many times in the past.

"This is my fourth World Cup and there has been an element of regret in all of the previous three.

"And I don't want to finish my England career - if this is going to be my last chance like people are saying - on that note.

"That's why I say we are going to do our utmost to try and bring this cup back. We are not going there to finish second.

"We are not there to get to the semi-finals and think 'Oh we did a good job, we got past the quarter-finals'.

"We are there to go out and win it."
